Apparently I'm Stressed

There are 3 life events that they say should never happen within the same year. You should only experience one a year in order to maintain a healthy level of stress (eustress the good kind). These events are
1) Moving
2) Having a baby
3) Starting a new job.
I started my new full time job in September. Found out I was pregnant in December. Moved in January.
I thought everything was fine until Wed at work.
I had a migraine Tuesday night. Not being able to take Ibuprofin while pregnant is a real bummer because it is the only thing I have found that helps my headaches. I slept for 15 hours that night (went to bed at 5:30) and woke up the next morning still feeling really yucky. I got to work Wed and made it through the staff meeting. Then went back to my desk and Kathy looked at me and asked "Are you doing ok?" and I just started sobbing. I am sure that the hormones where part of the problem. So we chatted about how I have felt like I have been in a fog the last month and haven't felt like myself. How I am overwhelmed by all that needs to be done at the house and how we don't even have laundry soap. So she sent me home for the rest of the day, and told me to rest, and gave me a container of soap from the church.
I did just what she told me to do. The next morning I went to the chiropractor and that night mom and dad came over with dinner and helped me clean the bathrooms (they were disgusting). Aren't parents wonderful?
I am doing much better today, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
